I love a book that makes me laugh and Jen Turano’s stories never disappoint.
About the Book
When Miss Beatrix Waterbury’s Chicago-bound train ride is interrupted by a heist, Mr. Norman Nesbit, a man of science who believes his research was the target of the heist, comes to her aid. Despite the fact that they immediately butt heads, they join forces to make a quick escape.
Upon her arrival in Chicago, Beatrix is surprised to discover her supposedly querulous Aunt Gladys shares her own suffragette passions. Encouraged by Gladys to leave her sheltered world, Beatrix begins working as a salesclerk at the Marshall Field and Company department store. When she again encounters Norman on a shopping expedition, he is quickly swept up in the havoc she always seems to attract.
But when another attempt is made to part Norman from his research papers, and it becomes clear Beatrix’s safety is also at risk, they soon discover the curious way feelings can grow between two very different people in the midst of chaos.

I’ve been seeing this book a lot, and this line…it is killing me! I’m dying to know what she did!! Happy Friday!
The book I’m featuring on my blog today is actually my current read, so I will share the first line of Chapter 12 of Love in Lead by Kari Trumbo. “Eva finished as much of her meal as he expected and daintily wiped her mouth. She’d enjoyed her food and that gave him a sense of pride he had no right to feel.” Enjoy your weekend!
I am reading Jen’s book right now! Hilarious!
My first line is from a WWII book by Anne Greene: Angel With Steel Wings:
December 1943- Camp Davis, North Carolina
“Bad weather. Bad plane. Bad day. And I have a bad feeling.”
Happy Friday!
Today on my blog I’m sharing the first line from Unveiling the Past by Kim Vogel Sawyer. I’m currently reading Masquerade at Middlecrest Abbey by Abigail Wilson. It’s awesome!!! I’ll share a line from chapter 3 here.
“As with so many previous events in my life, my marriage proved the complete opposite of my dreams.”
Isn’t that a fantastic line? The novel is filled with lines like this. So good!
Have a great weekend!
Both of these are on my TBR!!
Happy Friday!
This book sounds so amazing!!
Today on my blog I am sharing the first line form She Walks in Beauty by Siri Mitchell.
“Get Dressed, Clara.”
Happy Weekend!

Jen Turano’s books are always so much fun!
Happy Friday!
Today on my blog I shared the first line from Hadley Beckett’s Next Dish by Bethany Turner, but it’s also my current read so I’ll share the first line from where I’m at right now (chapter 18) here: “What was I thinking? What was I thinking? What was I thinking?” I’m loving the witty humor all throughout this one.
Happy reading!
This one’s on my TBR for next week. Looking forward to it.
